You could but don’t watch the last minute of their loss to North this year.

Let me guess, he could replace Spargo?

It NEVER even enterered my head... Seriously though, I think he could be worth a Punt!

If they never drop ANB, Aarts would never get a game with us. 

We have to try out Laurie and Howes and I think Woey will be better than him anyway.

Yeah couldn't think or a worse player in Arts to put on a list as depth. Remember this game clearly.

Would have rather kept Baker 

No.

 

I believe we will only consider delisted players to be put on the rookie list and I think we need ruck types and good tall project players since most midfield and small forward positions we have multiple players at this stage.

Could do a lot better 

Stark  even with baggage a far better  player and a match winner.

Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !


I think he's got something but it wouldn't be MFC as the team benefiting from his services.

After something like that occurs, a player is haunted.

Better still why don't we delist every player every and just enlist every player that is delisted by other clubs, I reckon that would satisfy picket fence.

Before we try out anyone they have to earn it 

Laurie, Howes and Woewodin haven’t yet ticked that box IMO

If Laurie can improve his fitness he might get a look next year - he does have skill just not convinced he is currently an upgrade on anyone in the 1s

Howes I’m not convinced will make it - I know he has plenty of people here that think he’s going to - very happy to be proved wrong 

Woey is a good honest footballer - good enough to be a regular AFL player ? - next year will tell us a lot more I think

Please expand on your opinion on Howes.

He did ok in his first few Casey games before the stress fracture took him out for the majority of the season.

What have you seen to write him off already?

I’m not writing anyone off simply saying I’m not convinced he will make it as an AFL footballer 

There are hundreds of guys that a good footballers but never quite reach the level required 

Howes is neat in his ball handling and disposal but I he doesn’t get it enough at VFL level to suggest to me he can impact at AFL level

Does he have any significant stand out qualities ? Pace , evasion, disposal , marking , physical presence? If he has they have been shown in cameos only hence - so I’m not convinced - as I said very happy to be proven wrong and we won’t know until the end of next season or the one after that (assuming he has no more injury concerns)

Renowned Charlie Spargo hater recommends Jake Aarts.  You must be trolling...

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
